Guided by a commitment to excellence, Morehouse, an historically black liberal arts college for men, assumes a special responsibility for teaching students about the history and culture of black people.

The Morehouse School of Medicine is an historically black institution established to recruit and train minority and other students as physicians, biomedical scientists, and public healthcare professionals committed to the primary healthcare needs of the underserved.

Upon successfully completing both programs, the student will simultaneously receive two degrees - a bachelor of science or bachelor of arts degree awarded by the AUC institution attended, and a bachelor or master of engineering awarded by one of the affiliated engineering schools.

The university offers 48 academic programs in allied health sciences, dentistry, graduate studies, medicine, and nursing at the professional certificate, associate, baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, and first professional level.
